Greens defector Dorinda Cox says her former party failed to address serious concerns she raised and enabled a "toxic" culture.
Senator Cox also denied any suggestions she has ever perpetrated bullying, despite a number of complaints from former staff that were reported last year.
What's next?
The senator says she is eager to now focus on getting tangible outcomes for First Nations people.

focus on getting tangible outcomes
I only just realised how meaningless this phrase is. And I'm pretty sure it's used a lot. It's like this kind of language is deliberately crafted to scramble our brains.

It doesn't sound like there's a lot of weight behind those claims, but I'm sure Labor and the right wing media will have a field day with it nonetheless. Kinda funny how quickly hopes of a closer Labor/Greens relationship in this term have been derailed. Albanese really seems to hate The Greens and when he's not punching down himself he seems to be encouraging others to do it on his behalf. No doubt he has been egging Cox on behind the scenes.

If you start believing that racism is the cause of all your woes you'll see it everywhere, particularly if - for example - you're still salty about losing a vote to be deputy leader.
It is amusingly ironic though because the Greens both appear the least likely party to actually be racist and the most likely party to have enabled such a mindset during her time with them.
